Dying is not a career advancement. This may not scare off potential recruits, but it certainly removes some of their senior personnel, the ones who know the ropes.

This appears to have been some sort of compound. I wonder if Afghanistan asked the obunghole administration to help with this and they refused?

When that bomb goes off your lungs are sucked out of you. Read another article that weapons and ammunition got destroyed along with 3 underground tunnels.

“What bodies?”

...exactly! MOAB vaporizes. Maybe they did a Koran count. Vaporized retardant binders on Korans?

I just about every US bomb and bullet has depleted uranium in it. That makes the effect of the blast even stronger.
